« ITwelve weeks ago, right here, an assassin tried to silence me and our movement. This vicious monster […] was close to achieving this, but the hand of providence prevented him. » Donald Trump spoke to several thousand people gathered in the town of Butler where he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt last July.
In front of a crowd committed to his cause, the Republican candidate and former president of the United States held a meeting under high protection, Saturday October 6, in the pivotal state of Pennsylvania, one month to the day before the presidential election of November 5 where he will face Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. He returned to the assassination attempt, repeating in a defiant tone: “I will never give up, never bend, never break.” »
The Republican candidate then marked a minute of silence, at the precise time when the shots rang out on July 13, paying tribute to the only victim, Corey Comperatore, before resuming his speech at the exact place where he was then interrupted. He also denounced those he called “the enemies from within, much more dangerous than those from without.”
Elon Musk’s fervent support for Donald Trump
“For the past eight years, those who want to stop us have slandered me, tried to impeach me, sued me, tried to take away my ballots and, who knows, maybe even tried to kill me. But I have never stopped fighting for you and I will never stop,” the former president assured his supporters.
There were many more people who came to listen to Donald Trump than during the previous meeting in Butler, many were dressed in a t-shirt bearing the image of the former president just after the assassination attempt, others with the his ear covered, reminiscent of the bandage he had worn in the following days.
Before entering the stage, Donald Trump was preceded by his running mate JD Vance, under the eyes of the richest man in the world Elon Musk, relatives of victims of the shootings and the police who protected him. Invited to come and speak by Donald Trump, the billionaire presented the American election as “a fight that must not be lost”, fearing that it would, otherwise, be “the last election , that’s my prediction.” “President Trump must win, to preserve the Constitution and democracy,” insisted Elon Musk.
